Tigger the Cat

Photographer Tom Doyle sent in this note about the subject of his latest photograph:

The subject is a feral tabby we call Tigger. We would take her in but I am allergic to cats.

When I go out early in the morning, Tigger is waiting at the gate to remind me that it is time for breakfast; so before I go anywhere I turn around and go and get her breakfast. Tigger has become approachable and lets me pet her although that took two years.

Tigger and a couple of friends (Pink and Momma) reside in our detached garage and are fed twice daily. They have all been neutered. Tigger has taken a liking to sitting atop a four-foot lace leaf maple in our front garden (a rather pricey perch).

Anyway here's my small friend, Tigger.

Comments:

Tigger bears a striking resemblance to our 8 year old Catcher who died in November. If she needs a home, we'd welcome such a gentle-natured cat again and we've only ever adopted feral cats. You mentioned she's neutered, did she have the feline leukemia test too? We would hate to infect our two adoptees we still have. Once adopted, we don't like to let them outdoors. What do Pink and Momma look like? (Although we already have our own Foxy Momma, might prove confusing!)
